A thing to remember when making backgrounds for the panel, is that transparent areas in your image will actually be transparent on the panel, showing the background beneath!
This allows for some rather nice effects like a smooth transition from desktop to panel, and also "dent" and "lift/highlight" effects.... remember, Gimp is your friend

png's have issues as panel backgrounds. Save it as a gif in gimp and it should work perfectly.

There's a link at gnome-look to http://xpedition.mine.nu/theme/macosx.html
At this site, click at the symbol beside "gnoMAC Theme Pack (by lizardking)".

Noone would happen to be interested in making an svg version of this gradient? I'm too lazy and a 24px panel is too small for me

. (no really, i just can't seem to get it just the same way).

I hand-made this gradient in one of my favorite GNU/Linux art programs: Kolourpaint. Kolourpaint is very similar to MS Paint, but it's slightly better. It's nice to have an environment to work in where all the keystrokes are similar.

It's an even gradient, hand tweaked down shades of gray of 2 points per line. Hope you like it. It has a height of 25 pixels. It's the same width as the first offering. The last 3 pixel colors are dark gray, white then black. If someone wants just the grandient I can provide that too.

Note: it's that tiny, thin gray line just below. Click it, and right click the image that shows up in a new browser instance. Save in your documents folder.
